Top 50 Blogs for Fashion Sewers

Pin It!

How do you catalog your ideas? Do you rip inspirational photos out of a magazine and put them on a bulletin board or notebook? Do you sketch out the design after seeing something that catches your eye? Or do you do it virtually with sites like Pinterest (there’s even an app coming soon for your iPhone)?

Personally, I’m totally excited about Pinterest. With me being able to read so many of my favorite inspirational magazines on an eReader, I’ve lost the ability to rip out favorite photos and look at them for inspiration. Now I’m not limited by magazines, I have the whole internet to pin!

I have a folder on my computer for inspiration pictures, and I organize them by categories. I really like the idea of that pintrest site though, with tags and such. Looks like a much better way to organize things. I’ll have to give it a try!

My pinups are all digital. I save pictures of things I like on the internet digitally, filed according to their subject matter. I’ve been to Pinterest and I didn’t like it. It was too difficult to find some things I wanted to know more about.
